Nephew of Royals Manager Killed in Iraq

The Associated Press

Lance Cpl. Timothy Michael Bell Jr., a nephew of Kansas City Royals manager Buddy Bell, was among the 14 Marines killed Wednesday by a roadside bomb in Iraq. There was a moment of silence before the Royals played the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday night.

"That was probably the most touching moment of silence I've stood through," Royals designated hitter Mike Sweeney said after Boston's 8-5 victory.

Fourteen members of an Ohio Marine battalion were killed Wednesday, two days after five other Marines assigned to the battalion were killed while on sniper duty in Iraq.

Military officials told the families of three Marines - including Bell, 22, of West Chester in suburban Cincinnati - that they were among those who died Wednesday in a roadside bombing.

4. WHAT IN THE HELL!

Are Reserves and National Guard doing dying in an IMPERIALISTIC OVERSEAS SO-CALLED WAR! Damn, WHAT are our regulars soldiers doing fighting this ILLEGAL WAR!?!?!
DAMN! When will be sending 14-year-olds over? Like the U$ bitched about during the IRAK-IRAN War! Of course we have foreign mercenaries at high costs and are screwing our soldiers, so U$ 14 year-olds are safe for awhile.

5. I heard. They lost. Announcers speculated that death may have been...

They suggested that the Royals might have had a better chance against the World Series winners if the manager's nephew hadn't been killed. Might be something to that, but how do you explain the rest of the season???
